When it comes to web design, first impressions count. But does your website create the right one?

Does it communicate your brand values? Does it attract high quality visitors and is it easy for people to find what they are looking for? Does it integrate effectively with existing systems and does it provide an effective hub for your wider marketing campaign? Does it achieve the commercial objectives you have set for it?

If you can say yes to all of the above, congratulations - you have a great site! If not, it’s almost certainly time to think again about web design and we can help. Combining creative flair and technical knowhow with sound commercial sense and a relentless attention to detail, we can produce websites which really deliver.

Web design to drive your business forward and reflect your brand personality.

Web design and build.

Our web design and build process follows ten clearly defined steps, to ensure that we produce the best possible website for your organisation, on time and within budget.

They are: brief and planning, wireframing, visuals, development, content, testing, snagging, training, go-live and support.

Successful web design depends heavily on usability, accessibility and integration with existing systems and processes. We also ensure that your website is fully responsive, so that it works equally well on every device. If you need help to produce content, we can utilise the skills of our team across the board to help with copy, images, video and corporate branding.

Content management.

At the heart of great web design is a carefully designed, easy-to-use content management system (CMS).

Ours is built using Expression Engine, an ‘open source’ system, meaning it’s easy to find developers who can do wonderful things with it, which will protect your investment in the long-term.

Once built, it’s also incredibly easy to use. After a short introduction from our web design team, you will soon be able to change most aspects of your site, including text, images, headers, products, prices, as well as adding new sections and pages.

Ecommerce.

Whether you are already trading and want to up your game, or you’re thinking of selling online for the first time, we can help.

Our web design team can advise on the entire set-up, including the payment methods, custom pricing and delivery options. Every online shop we make is beautifully crafted to meet individual requirements and is designed to stand alone as one of your core sales channels.

Intranets and apps.

At best, intranets provide effective hubs for internal communications campaigns.

All too often, however, they display poor web design, with dated content and are largely ignored. Our digital team have the ability to transform tired intranets, as well as producing web, Windows or mobile apps, together with engaging games and entertaining animated sequences.

Digital marketing and e-newsletters.

A key objective when thinking about web design is to ensure it makes the best contribution possible to your wider marketing campaign.

Working with agency colleagues, we can provide integrated SEO, social media marketing and online PR, as well as content design and development.

Keeping in touch with target audiences by email newsletter marketing is effective and affordable. Our web based e-newsletter application makes the creation and issuing of e-newsletters simplicity itself. They are great, too, for internal communications campaigns and generating measurable success data.

Hosting and support.

Our hosting service is secure and robust, allowing your website to grow without the need to move servers.

Hosted in a state-of-the-art facility, we offer large storage amounts and do not stipulate limits on your monthly visitors. Our 99.9% uptime agreement should give you peace of mind that your website will remain fully functional and visible.
